Why did you have so many expansion releases? I never doubt the work it takes to be a game dev, since you're essentially doing the job of an audio engineer, graphics designer, programmer, and marketer in one project, but wouldn't you rather get your game to a stable position, release maybe one expansion, and go on with the next big project?
Also if you really are the dev of PoE, keep up the great work. I've never even remotely come into contact with your game yet Ive heard so much about it. That says something.
- anewone 8y agoIt has to do with their business model and style of game. As a F2P product they benefit most from people simply playing the game as much as possible and occasionally seeing little things like ads or other players' outfits pointing towards the store. The game is very replayable so it works well with a regular content schedule to remix the game a bit and keep people coming back each season. And I gather that you believe this is The one dev - there is a sizeable team making this game.
- redisman 8y agoThat type of business model is becoming more and more a fantasy these days. Game-as-a-service is the most common model now. Keep making games until you get a hit and then squeeze that for reliable revenue with content updates, analytics-based changes, etc.
